The Hartford Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance

The Hartford's HNOA is a type of commercial auto coverage with two parts: hired coverage for vehicles a business rents, leases or borrows, and non-owned coverage for employees using their own vehicles for business, layered on top of the employee's personal auto policy. ¹Company-reportedHNOA product page as read 2026-09-23.

The Hartford recommends HNOA for businesses that rent or borrow vehicles for work, or whose employees use personal vehicles for business errands like deliveries or client meetings. ¹Company-reportedHNOA product page as read 2026-09-23.

The Hartford says HNOA helps pay bodily injury costs (medical, lost income, funeral, legal/settlement) and property damage costs (vehicle repairs, legal/settlement, replacement) up to policy limits. It does not cover damage to the hired or non-owned vehicle itself, injuries to the business's own staff, property theft from the vehicle, normal wear and tear, or accidents during personal (non-business) use. ¹Company-reportedHNOA product page as read 2026-09-23.

The Hartford says non-owned auto coverage cost depends on claims history, vehicle value, employee driving history and how often vehicles are rented for business; the page does not publish standard liability limits. ¹Not publicly disclosedHNOA product page as read 2026-09-23 (page last updated by The Hartford August 27, 2026); cost factors, not a coverage limit.

Like standard commercial auto, HNOA is not currently sold online for small businesses; The Hartford directs buyers to a local agency or its partner Tivly for a quote. ¹Company-reportedHNOA product page as read 2026-09-23.
